Chancellor Martin Tadlock said “human error” caused 680 acceptance emails to be sent out when only 250 applicants were originally admitted.

University spokeswoman Carrie O’Brion said in a statement to Fox News that the school was "dismayed to learn about the acceptance emails."

"As soon as we found out about the situation, we immediately reviewed our process for communicating with prospective students and have changed our procedures to prevent this from happening again," the statement read. "In addition, our staff is calling each of the affected students to apologize and discuss their application status. They hope to contact all of the students by the end of this week.”
